Comment on Good way to get into manageable ship combat? (To level up pilot skill)

Using 4 of the 3300 guns. Get in the habit of flying in places and immediately doing a 180 boosting away. Get out a bit over 4km from the target, which most of the time you can, then you can flip back over and long range blow most things away.

Thanks for the tip i’ll give it a try. Man one time I had a save the loads just as a a larger ship engages you, I reloaded about 10 times until i finally got a lucky crit or something and boosted past it just right.

Nah, that tactic with singling them out by creating distance is probably the easiest way with most ships. You could also build a corner ship so there’s nothing in its middle (the ship builder interface will always have it’s center in ship’s center of mass) - the AI aims for the middle of your ship, so if there’s nothing there, they can’t hit you. That way you’re going to be able to avoid most hits and have enough time to regenerate your shields between the hits they manage to connect.
Safe travels.
